Cheddar Cheese Anyone?
don't even say it. another quilt? why not. it's just a doll quilt. i picked these 12 brown Jo Morton prints when my LQS was having their sale. of course i only got 1/8 yard of each. that was really hard. but not impossible. i just knew something would come up and this is all i would need.cheddar. turkey. poison. i've been learning new lingo. but just a beginner. i might be taking a chance using this black & beige toile for the background. but when it comes to cheddar. the expert has suggested that this one is the best. just a measly 1/2 yard is on its way to me. that was also very hard. because they are having a sale on everything until January 15th. but i repeat not impossible. my plan while i wait was to cut sets. a set i decided was 2 squares and 4 triangles. and since it was suggested that we could use 36 scrap fabrics. i decided i should cut 3 sets from each brown print. and 36 sets from the background. the toile is by Faye Burgos for Marcus Brothers.

This looks like fun! Thanks for the links!
Who can resist a sale! But I have to say you were very restrained, you only got 1/8th yard cuts. Amazing, I don't know that I could have been so good.
Have fun with it Karen. :-)
I'm trying hard to stash bust for another year. Daughter wanted more clothes space so I gave her my fabric chest. I am now down to 2 bedside cabinets and a couple of wicker trays. My goal for the year is to be in just the cabinets. It feels almost imopossible though.
Can't wait to see your version of the doll quilt. Brandie
Now that is the kind of cheese for after holiday enjoyment.
